Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 18945 Releases

Today Microsoft released the latest preview version of the Windows 10 20H1 development, Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 18945 for Fast Ring. The biggest change introduced in this version update is to invite Windows Insider users in the US to test the latest Cortana Beta features and experience the latest conversational chat, allowing you to type or speak in natural language, and improve Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).

Changelog

  • We have fixed the issue causing some Insiders to experience install failures with error code c1900101 due to a compatibility bug with a storage driver on their device.
  • We’ve made a few fixes to improve reliability when installing a Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 distro.
  • We are extending Windows Defender ATP capabilities beyond the Windows OS and as a result are renaming to Microsoft Defender to reflect our cross-platform approach to endpoint security.
  • We fixed an issue where Settings might crash if you selected Activation under Updates & Security.
  • If your network connection is unexpectedly disconnected, the Miracast banner will now have a close button for you to use if needed.
  • We fixed an issue where the Performance tab of Task Manager wouldn’t expand from a collapsed state if you double clicked on the text.
  • We’ve updated the Details tab of Task Manager so if you right-click a process, Provide Feedback will now be listed after End Task and End Process Tree (rather than between).
  • We fixed an issue where the network icon in the taskbar might show that there was no internet, even though there actually was connection.
  • We fixed an issue impacting Windows Hello reliability in recent flights.
  • We fixed an issue where if you manually updated the DNS server settings in Settings, it wouldn’t apply.
  • We fixed an issue from the previous two flights resulting in mobile hotspot unexpectedly turning off if enabled.
  • We fixed an issue that could result in the system hanging after resume from hibernation.
  • We fixed an issue potentially resulting in the error, “MMC has detected an error in a snap-in and will unload it.” when you try to expand, view, or create Custom Views in Event Viewer.
